The TV personality said it was important that the messages were leaked as Matt Hancock was 'controlling us'“I mean, really, handing all of your WhatsApp messages over to a journalist... Err hello?
“She did [sign an NDA] but it was a bog standard one that wasn’t worth the paper it was written on apparently, according to Isabel [Oakeshott].
“And literally, I don’t really know many journalists who would have all of that information that would just say, ‘ok I'll keep it to myself’.
“I mean, oh my word, how stupid is this man? I'm really sorry Matt Hancock.”
The TV personality said she thought it was in the public interest for the messages to be leaked.
She continued: “You know what, I do think it’s in the public interest. He was governing us. He was controlling us through the pandemic.
“I remember walking through Hampstead Heath with a friend and sitting on a bench, and the covid cops came and told us off: ‘do not sit on the bench’.
“He [Matt Hancock] said, ‘go in hard’, if you look at the messages, which are absolutely appalling.
“It does pull the curtain on what goes on with the MPs throughout all of this. I do think it’s in the public interest.”
The star argued that Boris Johnson was the only person who came out of the pandemic looking goodLizzie also said she believed Boris Johnson was the only person who had come out of the situation looking good.

“He's pulling everyone down with him. The only one that has come kind of good out this is Boris Johnson, who is actually saying, ‘do we have to do these lockdowns?’ and was questioning it.”
